Why I like boxing

Boxing isn't just a sport, it gives one a sense of confidence by overcoming your fears and summoning courage by climbing through the ropes into the ring to face someone. It requires a huge quantity of strength, power, speed, endurance, reflexes, intelligence, and will power. Anyone can start out boxing as an average guy and come out feeling better about them selves physically and mentally. Knowing you can take a hit and give some back yourself is one of the greatest feelings ever. The feeling of helplessness fades away and gets replaced by a new, confident attitude. Boxing is a sport where you are tested to your limit, and where a strong will power can change everything. You can go from being knocked out around in one round, to total domination.

Boxing also is one of the best workouts and will get your body into shape faster than anything else. An average boxers body has hard, ripped muscles and barely any fat on him. Not only do you get to workout, you get to see people better than you workout and fight. Seeing a professional as a novice working out in the same gym inspires most people to work harder because they do not want to feel like the difference in skill and power is too great. I tend to find myself absorbed in my workouts and barely notice I am covered in sweat. Just having a spar is exhilarating and when you win, you feel great.
